If sinners be damned, at least let them leap to Hell over our bodies. If they will perish, let them perish with our arms about their knees. Let no one go there unwarned and unprayed for. ~ Charles Haddon Spurgeon

Birthday Post (written by Scott)

Today is Christine's birthday!!! She's a whopping 25 years old. In honor of her birthday most people would create a list of "25 Reasons Why I Love You", or "25 Things I Love About You"; but I'm going the other way. Below are "25 Ways I'm a Better Person for Marrying Christine."

1) I now hang my pants on the back of the door instead of throwing them on the ground.

2) I can cook, (some things)

3) I love our dog (and most every other dog)

4) I can appreciate musicals (especially The Music Man)

5) I know what an Appaloosa is.

6) I know where better fishing holes are in Raleigh.

7) I don't wear the same underwear for more than two days in a row.

8) I'm more sensitive.

9) I appreciate the blessing that adoption really is...

10) ...and have a better understanding of the miracle that took place when I was adopted into God's family.

11) I know what it's like to be married to your best friend.

12) I've seen "Wild Hearts Can't Be Broken."

13) I'm more sympathetic when I see a homeless or disabled man.

14) I'm fatter, (because she can cook so well)

15) I laugh more.

16) I appreciate my Mom more.

17) I drink more Starbucks :)

18) I pray more.

19) I know what it's like to be proud of someone.

20) I can appreciate piano music.

21) I have much more respect for people that work in homeless shelters.

22) I don't leave the toilet seat up.

23) I know which fork to eat with first.

24) I'm going to be a father in 5 short months.

25) I know what it feels like to be deeply loved by a wonderful, godly woman.

Happy Birthday Christine! I love you!
